Couscous Primavera

This couscous is a healthy, delicious, and easy side recipe that takes about 10 minutes to make. I'm borrowing the name from pasta primavera, which, like this recipe, takes advantage of fresh, seasonal, and green produce.

Ingreadient

  • 2 cups dry couscous
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
